efb5b62d72 lib: packing: remove MODULE_LICENSE in non-modules
Since commit 8b41fc4454 ("kbuild: create modules.builtin without
Makefile.modbuiltin or tristate.conf"), MODULE_LICENSE declarations
are used to identify modules. As a consequence, uses of the macro
in non-modules will cause modprobe to misidentify their containing
object file as a module when it is not (false positives), and modprobe
might succeed rather than failing with a suitable error message.

So remove it in the files in this commit, none of which can be built as
modules.

1280d4b76f lib: packing: replace bit_reverse() with bitrev8()
Remove bit_reverse() function.  Instead use bitrev8() from linux/bitrev.h +
bitshift.  Reduces code-repetition.

3c9cfb5269 net: update NXP copyright text
NXP Legal insists that the following are not fine:

- Saying "NXP Semiconductors" instead of "NXP", since the company's
  registered name is "NXP"

- Putting a "(c)" sign in the copyright string

- Putting a comma in the copyright string

The only accepted copyright string format is "Copyright <year-range> NXP".

This patch changes the copyright headers in the networking files that
were sent by me, or derived from code sent by me.

554aae3500 lib: Add support for generic packing operations
This provides an unified API for accessing register bit fields
regardless of memory layout. The basic unit of data for these API
functions is the u64. The process of transforming an u64 from native CPU
encoding into the peripheral's encoding is called 'pack', and
transforming it from peripheral to native CPU encoding is 'unpack'.
